Chocolate Stout Vegetarian Chili

This past Saturday we celebrated my nephews 3rd birthday, he asked for a “truck party” he got a truck/ chili party. Not necessarily a favorite for a 3 year old, but let's just say the adults outnumbered the children 4-1.

I spent all day Friday cooking the chili with my sister in law, it was a great day.  We were able to use nearly all the gorgeous peppers we had picked the week before at the farm. We ended up with  3 different pots of delicious, in their own right, chili. How happy would you be at a party decked out with delicious chili options and a bar full of gorgeous healthy toppings? I forgot my camera at the party.. so use your imagination.

On the menu was traditional beef chili, 100 clove of garlic chili (not kidding, we went a little crazy with garlic, don't knock it till you try it!) and my infamous Chocolate Stout Vegetarian Chili.

I have been making this vegetarian chili for nearly 10 years. Way before I knew I would end up in the nutrition/food world. It is probably my most requested recipe and I thought it was high time I shared it.

You really don't miss the meat. I have made it with meat, but my family prefers it without. That says a lot.
